Maybe you’ve heard about Flappy Bird – you probably haven’t – but it’s an app that is similar to Angry Birds but it’s about 4 million times harder. According to The Verge, Flappy Bird earns it’s creator Dong (not kidding) Nguyen about $50,000 a day in ad revenue. You read that correctly, $50,000 A DAY!

Nguyen says he ‘cannot take this anymore’ of maintaining the game.

I am sorry 'Flappy Bird' users, 22 hours from now, I will take 'Flappy Bird' down. I cannot take this anymore.
